Glastonbury Abbey


This is Glastonbury Abbey in Sommerset, England. As you can see, it's still quite pretty despite having failed utterly in its overriding purpose of not become uninhabited, desolate ruins. That said, you should see the other buildings made in the 7th century. Oh wait - you can't!

Here is the website of the place. [Insert "website made before the invention of the internet" joke here.]
Another picture after the break.




From Wikipedia, this picture shows the "Lady Chapel" around 1900. It's apparently been fixed up since, possibly
by the same people that made the website. What makes this chapel a Lady? I'm not sure.
